"If I could offer you only one tip...sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience..." (Mary Schmich (1997-06-01). Chicago Tribune)

The information and advice expressed herein are the subjective views of the author. They are based on years of independent travel experience in the region, however they are by no means authoritative. While every attempt is made to keep the information current and accurate, the author is bound by the limitations of time, money and geography and cannot vouch or promise that this is indeed the case.

Similarly times, prices, and descriptions should be taken as guidelines only, and the author may be guilty of occasionally romanticising about his experiences in the country.

...but trust me on the sunscreen!...
